Soft. Warm. Cozy.
The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?
As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.
They’re not alone.
All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?
Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.
The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.
Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.
All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.
Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.
But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.
Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.
The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.
Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.
Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.
There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.
After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.
They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.
“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”
These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.
Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.
There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.
Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.
They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).
Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.
These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.
"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"
Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.
Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.

RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.
Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.
"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"
Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.
Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.
Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.
All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!
Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.
Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.
At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.
All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.
Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.
Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.

LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?
Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.
Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.
Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.
The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?

CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.
All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?
There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!

Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

for Lorenz
[ Lorenz' outburst gets a mixed reaction from those around them. There's one or two who catcall or boo, while most of them just pick up the chant, faster and louder now. And is it... spreading?
At this rate, they're going to have more eyes and attention on them. ]
I don't think the vultures liked that answer. Want to try a different one? Else we might have the whole room joining in soon.
👀
He's going to burst into flames. He stares vaguely over the heads of the crowd, considering the end of his life. Hmm...]
No, thank you. I would like to abstain from addressing the crowd any further.
[If he stands there and holds still, the crowd can't see him. Perfect.]
no subject
But for a moment, he cocks his head to the side inquisitively, Lorenz only being a hair taller than him so they're basically still eye-to-eye. Lifting a hand, he brushes a finger along the line of the man's jaw. ]
Hmm. You're blushing. Don't tell me you've never kissed someone before?
no subject
Not that it's any of your business, [huff!!!] but this is hardly my preferred venue for physical intimacy.
[Say it more awkwardly, Lorenz... Just in case, he reaches up to take hold of his hand and move it Away. He is stalwart, he shan't crack, he is so prepared to do this for another hour if need be...
However.]
Tell me, how much of an act must I put on to ensure we go our separate ways and never encounter each other under this plant again?
no subject
That's hard to say. This place is decorated generously in that plant, after all. But surely you can enjoy a single kiss. Convince me you know what you're doing and I'm sure they'll be satisfied as well. That won't be too hard for you, will it?
[ Was that a dare or innuendo? Hell, it was probably both. Why not make him more red? He doesn't care about what causes it at this point. ]
no subject
Okay.
Against his better judgment.]
My patience with this entire room has worn down to threads. Fine; be quiet.
[Please, he can take only so much. To his credit, he's not going to waste time: he grips under Sylvain's chin again, mechanically tilting his head back just so and slotting their mouths together. It's a kiss; he's too bothered to do this thing with any modicum of art or allure, but give him this: it's not a perfunctory little peck.]
>.>
He bites back a sigh, knowing this isn't going to satisfy the crowd at all, especially after he got them riles up over this. Looks like he's going to have to handle giving a show, then. Fortunately for Lorenz, he's very very good at that.
One arm slides around the man's waist, tugging him close as he steps in flush against his front one more as fingers splay in an almost possessive hold at the small of his back. His other hand comes up to grip at the nape of his neck, fingers tangling in his hair as he tilts Lorenz' head just slightly to the side to improve the angle. One that shows this off much better.
And then he kisses him. Deep and passionate and with the skill one would expect from a person with a reputation as renowned as Sylvain's. He'd come by it honestly, after all, and even if he'd left a trail of broken hearts in his wake, it still hadn't been enough to hinder his winning of them in the first place. His lips, warm and firm, move against Lorenz, tongue brushing lightly against his mouth, as if coaxing him to give a little more. Meet him halfway. Forget people were watching for a moment and enjoy a kiss for being just that - a kiss. ]
breaking: guy who was so annoying in high school dares to kiss nicely
But he could have shoved himself out of here earlier, and he hasn't, a heady mixture of whatever the diamond mask is doing to him and the kiss itself making him want to— to prove a point? He, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, certainly does not need to prove to anyone at all that he's a man capable of a good kiss!
Still. Perhaps later he'll unpack how easy he is to provoke, but for now he opens his mouth to the kiss, teeth seeking to sink into an irritatingly plump lower lip with a low noise of self-satisfaction. Grip still tight in his hair, he could be enjoying this for, hm, reasons beyond "kissing is nice," but so it goes. Later, he will remember utterly failing to do this thing with manners and burst into flames.
Later.]
just admit you liked it lorenz, it's okay
He rather enjoys the sharp tugs on his hair, after all, and the bite of teeth into his lip gets a low, husky chuckle that rumbles in his chest where he still keeps Lorenz pressed snugly against him. He chases the press of lips, keeping Lorenz focused on him, on the kiss that's turning out to be not so bad after all, even if he's sure that that's not at all what the other man's after.
Sylvain's pretty perverse in his pleasures like that, after all. And this seems to be no exception. So he drags the kiss out longer. Sees how much he can get away with. How much Lorenz will bend to meet him. ]
noooo how embarrassing
He's excising something, surely. Excising the way that chuckle burns in his chest in turn, pressed this flush against each other, and how his thoughts snag on that of all things and linger there, dutifully putting away under 'things to remember' the heat of another body against his own, hot and eager mouth trying so very hard to get something out of him.
Maddening, frankly. And yet he continues to press, seeking something of his own from this kiss that he hasn't put his finger on yet; the "win"? The elusive point he's trying to prove? Difficult to say; when he stops to breathe with a stuttering gasp what he manages to snap is just:]
Well?
good job lorenz you survived
Their "audience", as it were, has either cheered their approval at the show or already lost interest and wandered off to the next shiny entertainment waiting to catch their eye. So Sylvain will take that as answer enough on one end.
And as for his judgement on the whole thing, he holds Lorenz' gaze for one long moment before tugging him close once more, but this time it's to lean in to murmur softly against his ear, for his hearing alone. ]
Not bad, Gloucester. Not bad at all. There might be hope for you yet.
[ He gives the man one more abrupt clash of lips in a kiss before pulling away with a playful wink and turning away to start sauntering in the other direction, leaving Lorenz standing there.
He does give one last teasing call over his shoulder, however, before he gets too far away. ]
You might wanna keep an eye out for mistletoe, though. Just in case.
did he though
—Except. Hold on. Several things happen at once, his murmured name and another kiss and the rest of Lorenz's dignity snaps like a rubber band, killing him instantly—
No, but that would be nice, wouldn't it? If Sylvain hears the sudden sound of a teapot on his way, that's the steam coming out of Lorenz's ears as he stares at the back of his head, finally noticing just how familiar that mop of red hair is... As an afterthought he rips the stupid mask off his face, because apparently it makes him actually blind.]
You are a disgrace and an embarrassment!! Come back here and give me the apology I am owed!
nope not at all
He doesn't stop. But he does look back over his shoulder to pointedly catch Lorenz's gaze, his diamond mask still firmly in place.
And then deliberately blows him a kiss. ]
no subject
It would be untoward, Lorenz knows, to chase Sylvain any length of space at all, let alone as far as he's already gone now. It would be just shameful. He would be making a scene (more than shouting at him, although if anyone is interested in that, they are few and far between). It would simply be ridiculous, and he should be the bigger person and go his own way.
So of course he scowls and marches after Sylvain through the crowd. The apology for deceit!!! supersedes all of that other stuff, so here he goes, until he can catch him by the upper arm and pull him back. You!!]
To think even you would stoop to such lows... Apologize.
no subject
Which he lets happen, even if he adds a bit of dramatics to it. Which is how he ends up pressed in close against Lorenz' chest once more, playing as if he'd been unbalanced and stumbled right where he ended up.
He gives the man an innocent blink, as if he has no idea what he could possibly be upset about. ]
But I'm not sorry?
no subject
He squeezes Sylvain's arm tighter, brow furrowed. Of course he's unrepentant, Lorenz shouldn't be surprised, but to do something like that for the sake of humiliating him...!]
I— Why not?
no subject
...Why should I be? It was a pretty nice kiss, Lorenz. I did say that.
[ Who said humiliating you had anything to do with it? ]
no subject
Hmph. You deceived me.
no subject
Technically, you just didn't recognize me. And you didn't ask. And you didn't introduce yourself to me, either.
no subject
You carried on for far too long to defend yourself with 'technically'!
no subject
Are you mad that you didn’t know who you were kissing, or are you mad that you enjoyed it?
no subject
Need I remind you what deceived means? [That's his story and he's sticking to it, but for pettiness' sake,] You unduly flatter yourself if that was your best work.
no subject
I never claimed it was my best work. Just a kiss. So you're telling me it's both, then. [ He cocks his head to the side, eyeing Lorenz curiously. ] So if you had known it was me, would it have made the kiss better or worse?
no subject
Luckily, he can still fix Sylvain with his most withering look.] Worse.
no subject
And instead of taking offense of that answer, he just laughs, because that's about what he'd expected. ]
See? I was right not to tell you, then. At least this way, you could enjoy it without your emotions getting in your way.
